The order Niu Er received was to follow the Japanese army all the way and report their marching movements, and to prevent the Japanese army from sending out a distress signal at all costs after the battle started.
Therefore, the communications troops and radio stations closely protected by the infantry brigade are the first targets of the special team, and they are much more important than Major Ryo Ikeda.
When the observation post sent the message to the headquarters that the Japanese army had finally begun full-scale operations and was about to enter the river valley at a trot, Liu Langchong, who had been looking at the future military god in front of him through binoculars, gave a thumbs up to express his admiration, which was like a torrential river flowing out of control.
.
The caution of this Japanese commander simply exceeded everyone's imagination. Even though 6,000 Japanese troops in front were ambushed and forced to send out a distress signal, he could still patiently conduct reconnaissance and move slowly. What's even more outrageous is that the vanguard team was not based on
The Japanese army usually used small squadrons, but up to an infantry squadron.
It almost means that if you want to lay an ambush, you can ambush a squadron. 200 people will be enough for you to eat, and it will be enough for you to eat for a while.
Okay! That's not all. Ever since he passed the Fishing Town, this guy has gone even further. Every time he went to a place he thought was dangerous, he would have the entire army stop and wait for the report from the forward squadron. The wait made everyone angry.
There are nearly 8,000 people in three infantry regiments. Wearing camouflage clothes made of branches and withered grass, they have been hiding in the mountain forest more than 400 meters away from the river valley for at least an hour and a half. At least an hour has passed since the estimated battle time. This guy
Only then did we reach the front of the Prefu River Valley.
Seeing the 3,000 Japanese troops meandering on the mountain road like yellow dragons a few kilometers away, Liu Lang felt furious! This was the first time he had met a Japanese commander who was so afraid of death. He saw last month
Major General Yoshio is so heroic. He knew that the topography of Qigan Village's Xiantian Canyon was extremely dangerous, but he still waved his heroic hand and most of the 2,700-strong infantry regiment entered. When did the Imperial Japanese Army ever give in?
!
It was Master Liu who was still the leader. After learning that the Japanese army was extremely cautious along the way, he made the decision to attack the leading Japanese soldiers out of the valley first. The soldiers used were 800 men from the Independent Regiment's Zhuang Ding Battalion, and the rest of the troops were
Stand still.
In fact, the so-called strong men battalion of the Independent Regiment is also a supplementary battalion of the Independent Regiment and is considered a second-line soldier. Except for the two companies equipped with the independent regiment's standard equipment, the other two infantry companies are actually not called infantry companies, but infantry squadrons.
.
Yes, that is the Blue Army unit that makes the regular soldiers of the Independent Regiment the most bitter. Each time, 1,100 people at the infantry brigade level surround an infantry company with up to two infantry companies and fight, and Liu Tuanzuo often discloses information to them.
, plus as long as they win, there will be generous rewards. The Blue Army troops will always go all out to beat the infantry company with far fewer troops than them, without saving any face. This is a sequence that the regular army hates the most.
.
But this time, they dispatched two infantry squadrons to fight with the regular army. All the equipment was Japanese style, such as 38-gauge, crutch machine gun, 92 heavy machine gun, and grenade launchers.
Using these 800 people to fight a Japanese squadron, if nothing else, it should be a crushing battle.
However, didn't such a beating alarm the main force of the Japanese army? What kind of Japanese commander with little more courage than Sesame could be so scared that he could pee and lead 3,000 troops to run faster than a rabbit?
However, those of you here are not fools, and they somewhat understand the purpose of the future military god's move to "snatch the enemy". Since you are afraid, let you know the danger clearly and see if you dare to come.
From a human perspective, invisible dangers are the most terrifying.
It's just that the idea is good, but I don't know if it will scare away the cowardly Japanese commander. Everyone's hearts are still hanging. In fact, this ambush battle will affect the next few battles.
Fighting question.
3,000 Japanese troops, nearly the strength of an infantry regiment, if they are allowed to return to Jingxing County. Even though there are more than 10,000 troops gathered here, if you want to capture it, you have to pay a sufficient price, not to mention that the future military god will not agree.
Even Liu Lang himself may have to modify his battle plan.
If it weren't for the fact that they had an absolute advantage on the terrain and were unprepared, the Japanese army was not a fool. If they wanted to capture the Japanese infantry brigade in the field, even if the independent regiment's firepower could defeat them, they would have to summon at least the 129th Division and the 17th Infantry Division.
He only had two divisions working as helpers for him, so he dared to take them for granted, under the condition that the casualties were acceptable.
However, judging from the way the Japanese army began to accelerate its march through the river valley, the future military god's reverse move of "snatching the enemy" was obviously successful. The cowardly Japanese commander Shi Shiran plunged headlong into the encirclement.
He is worthy of being a future marshal who broke the tradition of using troops and ambushed the Japanese invaders at the same place three times in a row! Liu Lang learned things that he could not learn in the classroom of the command academy.
"Deputy Commander Liu, sent orders to all ministries that the enemy troops are approaching. Fight according to the pre-war deployment. Anyone who is afraid of fighting, disobeys military orders, or hides trophies privately will be subject to military law." Faced with Liu Lang's sincere praise, the future military god was indifferent.
Smiling, he put down his telescope and firmly issued the military order.
This, perhaps, is the legendary general style!
"Yes!" Liu Lang stood at attention like a soldier and ran out of the headquarters.
He is not only the deputy commander-in-chief of the entire battle, but also the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, who needs to be on the front line in person.
Seeing Liu Lang like this, the future military god and the future second-generation leader smiled at each other, and their favorable impression of this colonel from the Sichuan Army increased again.
Political Commissar Deng, in particular, has an exquisite heart that is even more calculated. This young man is well versed in national justice and extremely smart. More importantly, he has an affinity with the Red Army. He is definitely the type of person who can develop.
Even if he is as smart as he is, he probably doesn't know that the 26-year-old young man he values is actually already a member of their camp. Moreover, he has a very pleasant conversation with that person.
Since they knew that the vanguard squadron had encountered the enemy, the Japanese army's march speed this time was beyond imagination. It covered a total of more than 6 miles and 3,000 meters of river valley. The trotting Japanese forwards almost finished the run in 18 minutes, and they were still fully armed.
Below, it is almost considered a passing result for the independent group's five-kilometer cross-country run, which will be carried out in extremely rigorous training standards based on future red army training standards.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the river valley is flat.
The bottom of the valley here is a rocky beach, and no crops can grow. Only some wild grass grows here and there. The Gantao River, which is only two meters wide, flows north along the mountain, and the mountain road follows the mountain on the other side.
The foot meanders forward. There is no difficulty in going up and down the mountain, and the road is relatively wide. Not only the Japanese troops are running vigorously, but the two leading 94 armored vehicles are even running smoothly, spitting out black smoke.
The Japanese commander even opened the roof hatch and looked around vigilantly, giving directions to the driver of the armored vehicle, and enjoying the scenery of Taihang, China.
Along the way, I was suffocated in the armored vehicle, which was really frustrating. When the enemy's traces were discovered just a few miles away, not to mention Ryo Ikeda breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was stopped for a while by his own commander.
The majority of Japanese "commanders" who were walking nervously also breathed a sigh of relief.
This stuff is just like a ghost movie. In fact, ghosts don’t scare you. What’s really scary is that you scare yourself.
At least, in this beautiful place with mountains, water and rivers, there will be no scary bullets from the Chinese. It will be good for your health if you all take a run like this.
The danger came from the mountains and forests where they completely relaxed their vigilance and looked at the scenery.
Most of the mountains in the Taihang Mountains are stone mountains, but this does not mean that trees do not grow on the stone mountains. On the contrary, there are many virgin forests in the Taihang Mountains where few people have visited for thousands of years.
Especially in this era, when the industrial winds of China have not even reached the plains, the Taihang Mountains are basically still in their original appearance. In addition to digging some food from the small land, the simple Taihang Mountain people also have to rely on the mountains to eat and harvest food from the mountains.
We collect some mountain products from wild animals to make a living. It’s not like the future, where the entire mountain will be hollowed out to leave a big hole for quarrying, and the entire mountain will be cut into bald spots to sell lumber for money. Now, what was it like in ancient times?
It was the same, and it is still the same now.
The two low mountains that sandwich the river valley are lush and lush from the middle of the mountain, with thick bushes and lush woods. They are really suitable for concealment. Even if the Japanese army wanted to go up to check, there were no more than ten or twenty people.
I couldn't even think of climbing up for a few minutes.
What's more, in order not to be exposed, except for a very small number of observation posts, the main forces of the three infantry regiments were hidden on the side of the mountain. It was not until the Japanese army began to enter the river valley that they quietly entered their respective ambush positions from the woods.
It was not rifles, machine guns, or mortars that launched the first round of attacks.
It is an independent regiment engineer company.
Their combat mission in this battle was very simple. They used "flying thunder cannons" to project all the remaining 400 or so explosive packets into the river valley.
A total of 80 "heartless cannons" made of gasoline barrels were used in the entire 3,000-meter-long river valley. No. 150 of the Engineer Company brought an infantry company of the 129th Division Cavalry Battalion to help them. An average of 4 people were responsible for one gasoline barrel.
The gasoline barrels are about 30 meters apart, and each "flying thunder cannon" contains five 7-kilogram explosive packets.
The reason why an engineering company is required to perform this task is that the lower part of the thunder cannon must be buried in the soil, relying on the earth to offset the huge recoil caused by the black powder explosion. Engineers who are proficient in civil engineering work are the ones doing this job
Good player.
Those TV pictures of people putting gasoline barrels on the ground and then igniting the cannons are unbearable to watch. When the cannon is fired, the gasoline barrels will fly into the sky! Do you think you can drop a ten kilogram explosive package more than 100 meters away?
Is power free?
Do you understand that the effects of forces are mutual? Let’s take a look at physics?
The engineer company did a good job, and the red soldiers also studied very seriously. Regarding this, the commanders of both armies tacitly understood.
In the first round of the attack, 80 explosive packets soared into the sky, flying more than 20 meters from behind the ridge into the sky, and then drew a beautiful arc and fell on the heads of the Japanese soldiers who were trotting in the river valley to enjoy the scenery.
The explosive package with a thick isolation plate and a delayed detonator weighed at least more than 9 kilograms. It was tumbling in the air and flying downwards in its irregular trajectory.
The Japanese soldiers were a little confused when they noticed something unusual.
Chinese people, are they hitting people with stones?
"Enemy attack!" Ikeda Ryo shouted sternly, jumped off the horse with agility that was inconsistent with his stature, turned over and hid behind a stone on the side of the mountain road.
The Japanese major who put his life first and looked around frequently but never for the purpose of appreciating the scenery was not in vain. Along the way, he was thinking about what he would do if the Chinese took a cold shot.
Now, it's time to pay back.
But he didn't expect that the Chinese would throw "stones" instead of shooting.
No, Baga! That's a dynamite pack.
When a Japanese soldier who couldn't dodge was hit by an explosive package dropped from the sky with a wooden plank, his helmet's neck became a little shorter. At the same time, there was a loud "boom", and at least seven or eight people around him seemed to have rockets on their butts.
Flying into the sky.
The air wave generated by seven kilograms of explosives, tsk tsk, don’t be too happy.
Ikeda Ryo's heart dropped directly from his chest to his eyes, and he felt extremely cold.
